Such a great book that is actually one of four in a series. The story is told from the point of view of Elena and describes the relationship between her and her friend Lila, from the age of 10 and onwards. The setting is in a town outside Naples. Lila and Elena become close friends right from the beginning, so close that when you see one you always see the other. Over the years they experience rift in their friendship but also times that bring them back together. Their friendship is an interesting one that is a mixture of competition, jealousy and admiration. It's almost as if this friendship is taking over their lives and although sometimes they can't stand each other, it's almost as if their very being would be lost and pointless without this bond.
I loved book one and am reading book two. The author writes very eloquently and is very descriptive. I also see that there is an hbo miniseries on this that I would like to watch!
